Ted Dibiase's Partner revealed
 

From Rajah:

-- Ted DiBiase, Jr.'s mystery tag team part for his WWE World Tag Team title shot at the Night of Champions pay-per-view is expected to be DH Smith, who was pulled off the road in early May following an apparent injury angle at the egregious hands of JBL.

Additionally, there is a fan report going around online saying that some fans met Ted DiBiase, Jr. at a local establishment down the road from the arena in Oakland after the 6/9 Raw. When asked who his partner will be at Night of Champions he simply said "the son of a Bulldog," who you'd have to assume is DH Smith. On WWE.com last week, the Ted DiBiase hyperlink on the match preview page took you to DH Smith's bio page on the website when clicked.

Frankly i'm not surprised.

See that's who I thought it was going to be, but I wasn't sure if they were going to do it or not. They should work very well together.

DH Smith was my first guess. It makes sense, given that he's on the RAW brand, he's young, he's third generation, and DiBiase was part of his "Hard Foundation 2.0" stable in the developmental leagues.

The kid has a really bright future, so it would be nice if the WWE can stop treating him like a jobber (despite Smith's wellness violation[s]). I mean, the guy deserves punishment, but what's the point of having this young talented kid around if you don't do anything with him.

However, a lot of these "clues" are pretty stupid things to go by, seeing as DiBiase is not actually behind the angle (and might have just been misleading fans), and the WWE can change their mind at any minute. Also, it's silly for the WWE to give it away with an error on their website.

Either way, Ted DiBiase should win the World Tag Team Championship in his debut match. Fuck, I would mark out for Paul London & Brian Kendrick chasing DiBiase and the nephew of their mentor's rival.

Well in the article it said "additionally", so i'm assuming their not just basing this off the fan and website thing but inside imformation as well.

To be fair, it seems that is what he was told to do. "Go out there and wave, Davey Hart!" He apparently prefers to play a heel, so we'll probably see a more focused side to his personality, with some power being flaunted, as well as his technical abilities.

I think he will grow on people when he is paired with DiBiase.

I hope you're right Noid. :y:

What does it matter? Coz this time next year one will be on his way to nowhere and the other will be... nowhere. :shifty:

Who is Davey Hart?

"Davey Hart" ("D.H.") Smith.

I don't know, Teddy might go places. :shifty:

I've said it before, Smith and Dibiase win the belts. Defend against Cryme Tyme the next week, Cryme Tyme thinks it's bullshit and steals the belts. Cody-Core can't get a rematch until shit's sorted out. Instant three-team fued. Plus, Cryme Tyme stealing from Ted Dibiase would be awesome.

Wouldn't surprise me if, thanks to this "leak", they opt for Carlito or somebody else and Smith gets his push cancelled, all thanks to the internet!

Hey! Carlito holding a belt?! Now THAT'S cool. :D

Awww it's gonna be D H Smith I was hopin for someone else, think of the dynamic of teaming Tedy with someone like Umaga. The promos would be awsome.

DiBiase: "You know that everythings got a price, but I'm priceless"

Umaga: YYYAGGGAMAAAFAASSSSBBBBLAGGAAAAMMMMAAA

no... spoiler... tag...

Rant [hint]

YOu shouldn't need a spoiler tag in a thread about a spoiler

ADDITIONALLY

So if Stephanie catches one of them rapping in the back of a bus, and the other gets in with a bunch of people who will ensure that he is on top no matter how boring he might be perceived, they're sure to go somewhere.

It would be awesome if Dibiase Jr lead them on into thinking it was his dad, IRS, or Virgil when he ''bought'' Cody Rhodes to turn on Hardcore and then starting a 2nd Generation Stable called Generation Next with Carlito, DH Smith, and some1 else.

That's what I'm thinking...minus the buying out. If they wanna start this stable then this is the time to switch Cory and start it off right...then with a nice promo on Raw.

Dibiase Jr. should buy Cryme Tyme.

Goof ball name.

So is he gonna be big like Teddy, or big like for real?

I'll have to agree with this. DH Smith, Dibiase Jr, Cody Rhodes, etc., are VERY bland from what I've seen thus far. Now granted - Randy Orton started out the same way (before he joined Evolution), and so it will be interesting to see what becomes of these guys.

Hopefully - they start turning heads pretty soon (as opposed to giving heads! tee hee hee! sorry, can't help myself)

Teddy? Teddy? TEDDY HART, where are you?????

Call up TJ Wilson btw. ffs.

One thing about Teddy Hart, he wouldnt be percieved as BLAND. He'd fix up that stables dynamic for certain.

Oh god, I thought this angle was actually going to go somewhere. Instead we get The Bland Bulldog. I mean, what's the point of dragging this out if it's not going to be a good twist?

As for Smith - he's just a poor version of his father. Who's already on one wellness violation.

I'd rather have Chris Masters.

That's because you're thinking like an idiot.

To be fair, if the wellness policy had been around, Bulldog probably would have received his first warning in the same amount of time as his son.

Coming from the guy up Teddy Hart's anus, I find that amusing.

Teddy Hart > Chris Masters, dude. By like, a fucking mile.

The ideal Next Gen stable would be Teddy Hart, Carlito, DH Smith, Cody Rhodes, Ted Dibiase Jr, and Randy Orton. If the writing team took them seriously and had them pretty much wreak havoc and run the show like the nWo did, it could be fucking awesome.

Randy Orton.

Whereas I was being no way sarcastic. :roll:

Don't you sass me.

Don't worry, I'll make it clearer next time.

Only started out?

And fired by now. :shifty:

regular shit>diarrhea, dude. By like, a fucking mile.

Har Har. :p

I knew I was going to get some smart ass response to that comment. :D.

The point I was trying to make, was that atleast Orton wasn't "generic" once he joined Evolution. He eventually developed a DISTINCT identity, that allowed him to make a connection with the crowd. Deny it all you want, but the guy was over BIG TIME when he defeated <s>Benoit</s> in 2004 for the World title.

So far - I haven't seen ANYTHING out of Cody Rhodes....and he's been on the show for a few months now (or longer).

Being Hardcore Holly's bitch (and sucking his penis backstage) won't get you over with the fans. Right now - the WWE has done very little to get Rhodes over. If the guy is too green (and isn't worthy of a much), then put him back in the minors. Dibiase and DH Smith have also been way too "generic" thus far IMO.

Heck - the guys from the Spirit Squad were newbies back in 06', but they atleast developed an identiy.

I don't see Rhodes doing much of anything... Cody has some huge shoes to fill.
Randy Orton didn't have that big of shoes to fill aside from being third generation.
DH and Ted Jr.--- They are in the middle of an average wrestling watcher's eyes.

THE POINT- Cody's father- Former World Champ
Randy- Cowboy Bob never won the big one
DH- Dad never won the big one, h/e huge midcard draw...POTENTIAL like Randy
Ted Jr.- Same as DH

I see those two doing something.

If you judged a second generation guy by his father's success, then Scott Putski would be Hall of Fame bound, Deuce would be selling out Madison Square Garden and Erik Watts would be a legendary name in the business.

Equally, the Rock would have been a mid card mainstay, Bret Hart a local territory star and Randy Savage a relative nobody.

I know right?

Even though you explicitly stated the opposite.

I'm not denying it at all. Orton was the shit in 2004. Great matches, good promos, over with the crowd (until he turned face)... Unfortunately, it seems 2004 was also his peak.

Teddy Hart would be one of the top 5 workers in that company if he signed tomorrow. I don't give a fuck about his attitude either, I'd have him on my team any day.

Plus anyone who knocks out CM Punk is always gonna be in my cool book.

<font color=goldenrod>I'm excited for the Next Generation stable...DiBiase, DH, Cody, and I'm thinking we'll see Deuce drafted to Raw next week and he'll join, where it's revealed he's Snuka's son. I can see Afa Jr. getting a call-up too at some point.</font>

While I don't agree with much you've saud here I do need to point out that at a time Ted Sr. was the number 1 heel oposite Hulk Hogan, that's a hell of a lot bigger than mid card. Titles aren't the sanderd of exellence.

Yeah, I will rephrase that...Ted Sr. was a big draw in the Main Event, but HE NEVER WON THE BIG ONE. That is what I meant to say.

Who gives a shit if he never won "THE BIG ONE"? So you're saying if the offspring of Jake Roberts, Andre The Giant, Roddy Piper, Scott Hall, Arn Anderson... any number of top tier guys... got into the business, they'd be worthless because Daddy was never World champion??

Statistically, most guys dads never one the big one.

Might go out on a limb and say the majority would fall into this category.

Who died and made you king?

NoJabba :'( RIP

Technically Dibiase owned the big one for a few minutes...

Actually, didn't he defend the belt as champion for several house shows too?

Ah jeez:

-- There are, or were, rumors going around saying that Ted DiBiase's mystery partner at Night of Champions was going to be DH Smith. However, the two haven't been training together, and what with Smith's move to the SmackDown brand in the Supplemental Draft earlier today, now it definitely doesn't look like it's happening. Additionally, there doesn't appear to be anyone else on the radar for the role from developmental nor the main roster. This is only speculation, but the best bet for the mystery partner looks to be Cody Rhodes after turning on Hardcore Holly.

It would be pretty god damn awesome if Cody was pushed into a situation where he had nothing to lose by his choice. It would also be *gasp* pretty innovative to have Hardcore Holly & Cody Rhodes (c) vs Td DiBiase Jr and Cody Rhodes. Cody doesn't even have to choose between Title and $$; he gets both if he goes with Jr. and possibly nothing if he doesn't.

Also, there was a pretty forgettable feud between DiBiase and Dusty back in 90/91, mostly remembered for Dustin's first WWF appearances and the end of Virgil as a significant figure in the WWF. Just a good squaring off between the two would be worth a watch.

Think about it.

Dusty: Mih Dalla Ma' you boy been in 'ere c'ruptin mah boy! Don' you teash you kid notha? 'Mericah Drea thinks I wanna come dah 'nere 'n whip yah ass!
Dibiase: ...Listen, Dusty, I couldn't understand you 20 years ago and I don't understand you now. Seriously, how am I supposed to work with this???

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to DarthTedious again.

I am not a big fan of Cody Rhodes being DiBiase's partner. Rhodes turning and joining the stable is fine, and I am all for that, but I think Rhodes should fight with Holly at Night of Champions, lose, then defect to the winning team in the rematch. He then becomes a mid-card singles guy in the group.

To be honest, I'm not feeling this mid-card stable. None of the guys in it seem like really great workers. Ted DiBiase has potential, but he's still apparently really green. Cody is good, but who else is there? Afa? Jimmy Snuka? I'm just not feeling it right now.

Personally, I'd go with JBL being Ted DiBiase's partner, them winning the World Tag Team Championship, and then DiBiase putting together a stable when there is heat on them.

Keep in mind, when Evolution formed, Orton and Batista were not big time stars. They were both guys with tons of potential, but they were green guys being put with the top guy in the company. To their credit, and to Hunter and Ric's, they got over.

Same 'could' happen here if they put the group with a top level guy; Orton being the logical choice. By doing that, maybe they can step up and get over.

However, I'm not against the idea of a mid card stable. The mid card is usually kinda dull, and by mid card, I mean the guys who rarely get on PPV, but get regular spots on RAW. These guys can fill that void by making the mid card somewhat interesting. I'm interested to see what happens with it.

To: WWE Headquarters
Subj: Hey

"HIRE TEDDY HART YOU SORRY FUCKS!!!!"

Sincerely,
The IWC.

Ted Jr.: And now the big moment people, it's time to reveal my partner and the future new World Tag Team Champion.... NICK HOGAN!

"When the car comes crashin' down it hurts inside...
You gotta take a stand, it don't help to hide.
If I hurt my friend, then he hurts my pride,
I gotta be a man although he ruined my joyride.

I AM A REAL AMERICAN..."

Honestly, Dibiase seems like he would be the leader of the group since he is masterminding the partner. But hwo do you have a leader be a tag champ? I dont think this will be a group, not yet at least. Cody will turn heel and we will have a new 2nd Generation TAg team champs. It will then be dropped in 3 months.

When are people going to understand that Teddy Hart does not have a future with WWE?

The wwe certainly has a future without Teddy, although it's dire and will look rather bleak.

Hire the man!

When are you going to understand that he does. And the reason is very, very simple - lack of up and coming talent. There aren't 5 more talented guys in the world than this man and the fact they have signed him like 1934 times proves they know it. They just go through their normal "we like everyone to be like robots" bullshit to stop people like him getting over. His last name alone is enough of a rep for him.

Teddy is a disgrace to the Hart name.

Someone should give him an impromptu workout that results in him getting the ever loving shit stretched out of him. It'd do him wonders.

Or you let him ride in a car with Nick Hogan, your choice.

Why is he a disgrace to the Hart name exactly?

And aside from Bret and Owen, nobody has much good to say about many of Stu and Helen's offspring.

I'm actually surprised to see you are actually a big fan of the man. I'm not a Teddy mark, or anything, but I look at the guy and see instant talent. I also see the name Hart, and see money. When I put the two together, I see someone the WWE would want to have. What did the guy even do to get hated? No sold some shit? Like Triple H no sells Booker T as a threat to the title? He sounds like he can be a cock in real life, but is that uncommon in professional wrestling?

I don't know how likely it would be, but Teddy Hart teaming with Teddy DiBiase to win the World Tag Team Championship in their RAW debuts would make me mark out.

I could see Cody Rhodes becoming the leader. Or them not actually having a leader, and just being about winning what they can. I'd like to see Ted DiBiase revive the Million Dollar Belt, though.

I do not agree.

Runs in the family then.

Then why isn't he in TNA anymore? They are hardly discerning about the people they sign. Surely if this guy is the 'third coming' of Hart, then he'd be in one of the 'big' two.

Makes me laugh that even TNA fired him. Nash and the boys will probably have fun if he ever came back now.
